introduction

Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe is a new project funded by Leonardo da Vinci II, the European Commission's vocational training programme.

It brings together archaeologists from ten countries who will work together to to make it easier for European archaeologists to work in countries other than their own.

The project partners will do this by improving understanding of any barriers that currently exist that hamper archaeologists from working outside their own country, and will explore the requirements for and capacity to provide 'transparent' qualifications for archaeologists across Europe.  Qualifications are transparent if they are valued and accepted in countries other than where they were issued.
